CORNHILL London road closed due works

CORNHILL in London will be closed to traffic from tomorrow, Thursday 15 August 2026, due to ongoing roadworks. The City of London Corporation, the authority responsible for the maintenance of the area's roads, has announced the temporary closure of CORNHILL, which will take place from 08:00 until 17:00. The disruption is expected to cause some delays, particularly for drivers who use the route regularly.

Motorists are advised to plan their journeys in advance, using alternative routes where possible. Checking traffic apps and maps can help drivers to navigate the area and avoid congestion. Drivers who must travel through the area are urged to allow extra time for their journey. The City of London Corporation has said that the closure is necessary to undertake essential maintenance work, which is expected to have a medium impact on traffic flow.

The work is not expected to cause significant disruption to public transport, but drivers may experience delays, particularly during peak hours. The City of London Corporation has promised to keep the disruption to a minimum, and traffic management teams will be in place to direct traffic and minimize congestion.

The CORNHILL closure is just one of many roadworks projects currently underway in the capital.
